Polygraph Tests in Company Security System

Summary/Abstract: The article raises an issue of a specific type of polygraph tests called screening tests in work relations. The basic theoretical aim of the article is to explain the differences between screening tests and terminologically opposite studies performed for a definite diagnosis (so called diagnostic tests). The discussed article carries also a practical value as it mentions the difficulties that a polygraph operator meets with while entering such a delicate area as the employees’ loyalty towards their bosses. However, the author does not confine to mention the problem but he also attempts to indicate possible solutions, which may contribute to improve the polygraph tests in the private sector. The analysis of the test results, which enables researchers to draw proper conclusions, has also been presented. A high rate of adverse opinions about those tested illustrates the scale of risk posed to the business security by a disloyal employee. The assumptions concerning the results are also an opening to a discussion about the benefits and drawbacks of polygraph tests in the private sector.
